Abstract

The management of waqf land assets by Muhammadiyah, one of the largest Islamic organizations in Indonesia, presents complex legal challenges. These include unclear land status, incomplete registration, dualism in land ownership documents, and overlapping administrative authority. Despite the availability of legal instruments such as the Waqf Law (Law No. 41 of 2004), Government Regulation No. 42 of 2006 on the Implementation of Waqf, and ATR/BPN Regulation No. 2 of 2017 concerning Procedures for Registration of Waqf Land, significant obstacles remain in ensuring the legal certainty and protection of waqf assets [1]–[3]. This article explores the legal problems in the inventory, certification, and data management of waqf lands owned by the Muhammadiyah organization. The study employs normative legal methods supported by case studies. Findings indicate that many waqf lands remain uncertified due to the absence of Nadzir registration, administrative negligence, and a lack of institutional capacity [4], [5]. Recommendations include strengthening the role of Nadzir institutions, optimizing digital waqf asset databases, harmonizing regulations across ministries, and empowering legal aid services [6]–[8].
